October 10, 2011

i’ve joined a group of 10 photographers with a monthly project to document real life… as photographers, we often get caught up in the perfect portrait and forget the beauty of every day stuff. while the original format of 10-on-10 is to post 10 images taken over the course of 10 days on the 10th of each month, i haven’t quite managed that goal just yet. first, i’m a master procrastinator, so i continue to put off the day i’m planning to work on this project, until it’s simply too late. as i mentioned in august (yep, i’m such a procrastinator that i missed the september edition) i’m using a film camera for personal/family images, so this set is from a recent day at the beach with my girlies. october is almost always our best beach weather of the year, so this is fitting :)

the little one – in a dress and hat because there’s about 0.000001% chance she’ll go in the water…

the big one – fearless and loves the ocean, in her swimsuit the minute we mention the beach (and check out those ridiculously loose top teeth… they’re just dying to fall out!)

love notes in the sand – big one writes ‘i love you mom’

mr. johnson :)

pretty sure this girl created her own dance circle at the beach:

love this spinning hair:

little one intent on drawing squiggles in the sand:

and continuing the squiggles with her toes (and the fact that the negative is a bit off on the left makes me kind of happy)

big one and i went to explore the tide pools

head on over to jayme franklin’s blog to see her 10 on 10 images for the month!

    Jasmine.. These are amazing for you being a procrastinator!! :) I love that they are beech shots.. especially the one of the “I Love You Mom” written in the sand. How cool to have that photo in your collection to look back on for years to come. And they all being film captures.. beautiful!

    These are amazing, Jasmine! Love them all, but the “dance circle” has my heart. Your girls are precious!

    Beautiful. I love the shot from above, I sat and traced the lines in the sand with eyes. I love the tide pools but I am the one that will never go in water.

    Spinning hair is one of my all time favs. Beautiful day!

    Oh, oh, oh, Jasmine. Oh. These are amazing. The spinning hair my most certain favorite, but I love them all. Cora has that same purple top swimsuit. And dude, that starfish was really just hanging out? West coast starfishes are very different from each coast starfishes. : )
